Popular music duo Indigo Girls have partnered with the national non-profit organization Rock for a Remedy to benefit local food relief organizations in each city on their Spring 2009 tour. Indigo Girls will perform at the Center for the Arts at the University at Buffalo on April 20, 2009 at 8pm.
Donations collected from concert attendees will benefit the Food Bank of Western New York. Patrons are encouraged to contribute non-perishable food in a non-glass container. Donations of four items or more will be entered into a raffle to win a signed copy of the Indigo Girls' new album "Poseidon and the Bitter Bug" and other memorabilia.
Rock for a Remedy, Inc (RFAR) is a non-profit organization that partners with local food relief organizations and national touring artists to both gather food/monetary donations and encourage youth and adults to better their communities through charitable efforts. RFAR's mission is to not only alleviate hunger in North America, but to also encourage and motivate concertgoers to volunteerism and develop sustainable altruistic participation in the music industry at large. Audiences have contributed nearly 93 tons of food and several thousand dollars over RFAR's six-year history.
